The Whittlin' Whistlin' Brigade, a performing group from Brigham Young University, borrowed its name from a part of Nauvoo history. Life in Nauvoo in the 1840's was a time of great persecution. Whenever a suspicious stranger came to town, a group of boys armed with knives and sticks would surround the stranger, not saying anything, and would whittle and whistle until the stranger became uncomfortable and left. Harold R. Oaks founded BYU's brigade in 1974. Ever since, this group has become a vital member of BYU's touring groups. Every year they tour elementary and junior high schools, sharing plays such as Androcles and the Lion, Yankee Doodle, and more recently The Yellow Boat and Taste of Sunrise. The group changed its name to The Young Company in 1983, when the company took their play Patches of Oz on tour to Yugoslavia. The change made it easier to associate the group with Brigham Young University.

Brigham Young University traces its roots to Utah's rich pioneer heritage. The original school, Brigham Young Academy, was established Oct. 16, 1875, on a little over one acre of land in what is now downtown Provo. At that time, Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, charged that all secular learning at the institution should be fused with teachings from the scriptures. Speaking to Academy Principal Karl G. Maeser, President Young said, "Brother Maeser, I want you to remember that you ought not to teach even the alphabet or the multiplication tables without the Spirit of God." BYU has remained true to that original charge. Despite steady growth during its early years, the academy was threatened by a series of financial and physical setbacks. With the help and sacrifice of Abraham O. Smoot, the campus moved in 1891 to new facilities located on University Avenue. The academy's curriculum strengthened and enrollment grew. In 1903, the name was officially changed to Brigham Young University. Work began in 1909 on the Maeser Memorial Building, the first of many structures on the university's present site. Successive university administrations oversaw the university's progressive growth, increasing both the number of buildings and the size of the student body. The university's academic development was signified by the inauguration of the school's first doctoral program in 1957. With the help of committed presidents, the university continued to grow, refine its mission and pursue excellence in academics and faith. Today, under the leadership of President Cecil O. Samuelson, the university remains dedicated to the integration of academic excellence with faith in Jesus Christ and His restored gospel.

The student enrollment rate continued to rise, and the number of faculty also reached its highest point up to that time. Students at BYU also faced difficulties in trying to live on as little money as possible. However, the student body also adapted and school life for continued with athletic events, debates, and other inexpensive student activities.

Forum assemblies have been in effect since the beginning of Brigham Young Academy, where students met in the old Lewis Building every day for spiritual enlightenment. After the Lewis building burned down, devotionals were held in the ZCMI Warehouse until the Academy Building was completed in 1892. In 1898 these assemblies were moved to College Hall, where there was an 800-seat auditorium that could house all the students. Once the Maeser Building was complete, the college students had their devotionals in its 260-seat auditorium while the high school continued to have theirs at College Hall; although, later they were combined again at College Hall. Due to the need for a larger assembly hall, devotionals were held in the Joseph Smith Building was after its completion in 1940. Although the Joseph Smith Building had many more seats than College Hall, it still could not accommodate the needs of all the students who wished to attend these devotionals. Because students had difficulty finding seats, many developed a habit of not attending, and as a result, devotional attendance decreased. Over the years, the George Albert Smith Fieldhouse was built, increasing student attendance at devotionals. As the student body continued to increase, the Smith Fieldhouse was not large enough to accommodate the number of students who wished to attend, therefore attendance again decreased. To increase the attendance, President Wilk.

Inson was granted permission from President David O. McKay for General Authorities to speak at the assemblies. President Wilkinson also permitted instructors to quiz on the material covered in the assemblies, hoping that it would encourage students to attend. Later, 0.5 credit hours were earned for attending the assemblies. By the mid-1950s the student body had grown to over 25,000, which made it impossible for all students to attend the assemblies. In order to fix this problem, President Wilkinson requested that the devotionals be televised to certain locations on campus. Although this made it possible for more students to take part in the devotionals, many felt that the poor quality of the broadcasts did not make up for the lack in attendance, therefore attendance decreased yet again. Due to this decrease in attendance, administrators felt that there needed to be a building where the entire student body could congregate. In 1967 the Board of Trustees authorized the construction of the Marriott Center, and in 1972 devotionals were held there. Although this did not entirely cure the attendance problem, the Marriott Center made it possible for the majority of students to attend devotionals.
